More quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Happy and successful homes cannot be built on immorality.
Ezra Taft Benson
Youth is the spirit of adventure and awakening. It is a time of physical emerging when the body attains the vigor and good health that may ignore the caution of temperance. Youth is a period of timelessness when the horizons of age seem too distant to be noticed.
Ezra Taft Benson
I speak of honor-your honor to God-your honor to country-your honor to self. I sincerely believe it to be the cure to most of our ills, both on a national or individual basis.
Ezra Taft Benson
Thank God for the joys of family life. I have often said there can be no genuine happiness separate and apart from a good home. The sweetest influences and associations of life are there
Ezra Taft Benson
Every member of the priesthood should understand the divine plan designed by the Lord to raise up the first free people in modern times.
Ezra Taft Benson
We can choose to humble ourselves by loving God, adjusting our will to His, and putting Him first in our lives.
Ezra Taft Benson
Pride adversely affects all our relationships - our relationship with God and His servants, between husband and wife, parent and child, employer and employee, teacher and student, and all mankind.
Ezra Taft Benson
Now we not only need to say more about the Book of Mormon, but we need to do more with it.
Ezra Taft Benson
We have a sacred responsibility to fulfill the threefold mission of the Church—first, to teach the gospel to the world second, to strengthen the membership of the Church wherever they may be third, to move forward the work of salvation for the dead.
Ezra Taft Benson
The Book of Mormon was written for us today. God is the author of the book. It is a record of a fallen people, compiled by inspired men for our blessing today. Those people never had the book. It was meant for us.
Ezra Taft Benson
The Church has no double standard of morality. The moral code of heaven for both men and women is complete chastity before marriage and full fidelity after marriage.
Ezra Taft Benson
To a significant degree, we are an overfed and undernourished nation digging an early grave with our teeth, and lacking the energy that could be ours because we overindulge in junk foods.
Ezra Taft Benson
Since the beginning, a woman's first and most important role has been ushering into mortality spirit sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven.
Ezra Taft Benson
Clean hearts and healthful food, exercise, early sleep and fresh air, wholesome recreation and meditation combined with optimism that comes from fighting for the right and knowing you'll eventually win for keeps - this is the tonic every true Christian patriot needs and deserves.
Ezra Taft Benson
He who kneels before God, can stand before any man.
Ezra Taft Benson
Today the devil as a wolf in supposedly a new suit of sheep’s clothing is enticing some men to parrot his line by advocating planned government guaranteed security at the expense of our liberties.
Ezra Taft Benson
The stage, the screen, the novel, casual conversation, the street discussion, and too often the fireside intimacies are punctuated with blasphemy, to which may be added, as of the same nature, coarse, ribald jokes, foul stories, and low small talk. Some would have us believe that profanity is a sign of masculinity and emotion maturity.
Ezra Taft Benson
You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible!
Ezra Taft Benson
Beware of those who would pit the dead prophets against the living prophets, for the living prophets always take precedence.
Ezra Taft Benson
We should confess His hand in all things. Ingratitude is one of our great sins.
Ezra Taft Benson
